The fiction series "Cartes Postales from Greece" by ERT, based on the books of the famous British author Victoria Hislop, "Cartes Postales from Greece" and "The Last Dance," will take us on a journey to Crete and London through 12 captivating standalone stories.

With footage from the British capital, featuring central locations such as Albert Bridge, Battersea Park, Chelsea, and Piccadilly Circus, as well as from Crete, where the majority of the filming takes place, particularly the enchanting Agios Nikolaos, Heraklion Airport, the archaeological site of Lato, Elounda, and Ierapetra, and with exceptional and different actors in each episode, the series chronicles the story of Joseph.

The story...

Joseph (Andreas Konstantinou), the protagonist and connecting link in the 12 standalone stories of the series, is a Greek-British introverted archaeologist who plans to propose to his partner and has scheduled a trip to his homeland, Crete. When she doesn't show up at the airport on the day of departure, Joseph returns to his ancestral land to take up a consulting position on an excavation and embarks on a solitary journey on the island, a dynamic journey into his inner world. Disheartened, he starts sending postcards to his ex-partner's home in London, recounting stories he hears or experiences in Crete. However, he doesn't know that the new tenant of the house, Ellie, develops feelings for the mysterious man... Can the deep thoughts of a stranger on paper make him lovable?

"Cartes Postales from Greece" is directed by the award-winning Giorgos Papavasileiou. The tv-adaptation was undertaken by Nikos Apeiranthitis, Alexandra Katsarou (Alexandra K*), Dora Masklavanou, and Panagiotis Christopoulos, in collaboration with the author. The composition of the original music and songs is by Minos Matsas. Pinelopi Valti is the set designer, and Marli Aliferi is the costume designer.


Today: «Who are you?» (final episode)
Episode 12

September. Summer has ended and Joseph (Andreas Konstantinou) must now return to his grey life in London, which seems even more drab and introspective than ever. But, as he is preparing for his departure, saying goodbye to people and places, the arrival of Eli (Margaret Clunie) on the island and in his life overturns what was given and changes his plans. Or, maybe not? Stefania (Chara-Mata Giannatou), the young journalist, interferes with his plans. Stella (Anna Mascha) will give him the courage he needs. Can sense overcome emotions? Do we fall in love with the image or with the soul?
